Hulk tapped on it and WAITED for it to turn around. If the robot had been consistent then It wouldn't have let Hulk get as close as it did to tap on its shoulder. Obviously the writer forgot about this and had the robots not know Hulk was behind them.But in no way that was a speed feat for Hulk. But rather it was a case that a character decided to not use their powers for some reason.
I see. It's a trope then.

Have a question. Do we ignore the character history and focus on the characters power instead of his overall in character personality. Example...if I made a Gladiator vs Odin match, can I give Glads 10/10 because there is no on panel proof of Odin counteracting 100 times the speed of light? Or if I made a Thor vs Gladiator match. Since Glads has showing of moving at hyperspeed, how can Thor counteract that or ay other character? Is this how we debate? Let me know.
We can't treat like it's a comic book. Otherwise I could "write" Superman never getting touched by Hulk just to make him look good or vice versa. Which is why a lot of posts here are ridiculous.
If we are to take this seriously I prefer to treat it like two characters rolled out with their powers/feats and go with it like an RP'd fight. Right now I'm leaning on Superman because assuming him and Hulk where even on strength and invulnerability/durability Superman has the advantage of speed and flight whereas I know that Hulk doesn't have the kind of speed Superman has and he has no flight. So right now the only thing that can even this fight is if Hulk can regenerate from mass destruction such as a few cells still alive and regenerate like say manga character of fame Guyver, whom regenerates from even a few cells found.
Unless Hulk can regenerate massive amounts of trauma from a barrage of planet impact attacks courtesy of Superman's, and should we say to be fair, 2000+ meters per second and the fact Superman has in fact accelerated his perception and reaction to Flash standards whereupon everything looks like frozen up and assuming he wants to go all out on Hulk then Hulk is in a bad position. Any person smart enough, with the evidences displayed, can see that.
Hulk did fight Sentry, for days. Was Sentry going all out? Was he fighting at 2000+ meter per second speeds? Or Flash equivalent like speeds? Since Superman "lost by a few inches" but they where apparently tied most of the time it's safe to say Superman has the insane speed and mobility to launch multiple assaults on Hulk.
